Coach@Work

OPIC Coach@Work is a unique process that develops staff, and helps them be the best they can be. It is about melding individual competence with the required capabilities to develop higher performance.

Coach@Work is best described as a process which allows managers to coach their staff through the specifics of their current role. Coach@Work allows both the manager and staff member to analyse job performance in an objective and practical way. Staff gain a better understanding of how they are going, managers can coach their staff through opportunities for improvement, and together they can develop the required capabilities to allow that staff member to be the best they can be in their specific role.

The uniqueness of Coach@Work is that it allows for high quality manager-staff interactions based on objective and evidence based data. In many ways, the coaching conversations take the working relationship to a more in depth level, allowing focused capability improvement. It also sets up the manager/staff coaching conversation as the key conduit to ongoing high performance.

Why should Managers coach?

It is an interesting fact that training on its own is only 20% effective in developing staff, but when you add coaching that effectiveness skyrockets to 80%!

Staff engagement surveys invariably reveal that staff have three key messages for their managers:

We want your feedback

We want opportunities to develop

We want you to do something about poor performance

In short, managers are likely to be a critical person to coach their staff for improved performance.

The issue most managers have is HOW to coach rather than just problem solve, and also what tools can assist them:

Diagnose capability development needs of staff

Develop the behaviours to effectively coach their staff

Implement a proven system to do this on an ongoing basis
